The municipality of Tabor was a a separate municipality, part of the Maribor Civic Municipality Assembly until 1995. Then it was incorporated into Maribor Civic municipality but reestablished in 1998.
The name of the main settlement after which the municipality is also named - Tabor - comes from the generic term tabor, meaning a fortified encircling wall. The wall after which it is named was built around around St. George's church as a protection against Turkish raids.

The flag and arms of Tabor are prescribed by decision Odlok o istovetnosti simbolih obcine Tabor, adopted on 5 June 2000 and published in the official Slovene gazette Uradni list Republike Slovenije, 64/2000.
The symbols were designed by Valt Jurecic of Heraldika d.o.o. and Heraldica Slovenica, who kindly provided drawings from which the images shown on this page were made.
The flag is rectangular in ratio 2:5, blue with two vertical stripes of white, the middle blue field being a square containing the bell and the St. George's ribbon from the coat of arms.
